i loved that show!!!!!!!

How many of you folks saw the early Genesis on the Midnight Special??
(How many of you even remember The Midnight Special?? LOL)

They played 2 songs, which took up nearly 1/2 the show... very unusual for the show to do something like that, especially for a band without a Hit Song.

I was lucky enough to see them in concert during this same time, too... ​

Woodstock 1969 History, Information & Facts from Woodstock Story

Was there

5/18 #1 I wish I had been at Woodstock. I helped with a special where Ted Churchill was trying out his steadycam, and they were practicing techniques for filming the movie of Woodstock. It was in the fall of 1968. Merv Griffin's "Sidewalks of New England". Mike Wadleigh's crew filmed it. Merv, Arthur Treacher, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Agnes DeMille, a funny guy unknown guy named Marty, (Martin Scorsese), only nobody knew who he was, then. Fun times!

I remember reading in 1964 in the newspapers about a British rock group coming to America, then watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan to see what all the hype was about!
